SHORT-TERM: COULD SEE MORE PULLBACKS

We may see more pullbacks in the short-term, besides the arguments mentioned in the Friday’s After Bell Quick Summary, the Descending Triangle plus Bear Flag plus bearish Monday seasonality, the Sentimentrader still has too many indicators at bearish extremes. However, at the current stage, I’d consider the pullback is merely for the short-term which reason will be discussed in the intermediate-session below as chances are high that 11/05 high will be revisited at least.

IndicatorsAtExtremes 

0.0.2 Combined Intermediate-term Trading Signals, this is just a follow up. Trend line held for 2 days already so the top signal is confirmed. Of course, as mentioned above, this may just mean a short-term top.

INTERMEDIATE-TERM: THE FIRST 2.5%+ PULLBACK AFTER A 40+ STRAIGHT UP TRADING DAYS WAS USUALLY A BUY

After 48 trading days without 2.5% pullbacks, SPX finally fulfill the forecast mentioned in 11/08 Market Recap: “2.5%+ pullbacks now or never”, now the question is what happened thereafter?

From the statistics below, 10 out of 13 cases (exclude 2 cases when SPX up 150 trading days without 2.5%+ pullbacks, both cases had just a very short-term pullback anyway) since 1991, the SPX would revisit the previous high in 3 weeks. In another word is that 11/05 high is unlikely the intermediate-term top, so at least bulls could wait until the revisit of the SPX 11/05 high before deciding what to do the next.

StraightUpMoreThan40TradingDays 

However, let me remind you that the sentiment now is very high which can be seen from the Smart/Dump Money Confidence chart below, so if indeed we see the revisit of the high in a very short time, the sentiment would very likely fly to the sky which for sure is not good for bulls.  I’ll keep eyes on this as well as the institutional buying and selling actions (courtesy of stocktiming) which now is lukewarm at best.

Listed below are all cases when SPX up 40 or more trading days without 2.5%+ pullbacks, for your references. Looks to me, the pullbacks were just short-term in most cases.
